U+8CA9 "販" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+8CA9 "販" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that also appears in Japanese as a kanji, primarily meaning "to sell" or "to deal in," often in the context of retail trade or peddling. Its structure combines the radical 貝 (shell, representing wealth or money) on the left with 反 on the right, which contributes phonetic and semantic hints related to "turning over" or "exchanging." This character is commonly used in compounds such as 販売 (hanbai, meaning "sales" in Japanese) and 販賣 (fànmài, meaning "to sell" in Chinese), and it plays a key role in commercial and economic vocabulary across both languages.
